Ithink it necessary to release Natsarenus for the Ukraine,
which is badly in need of workers, while you have a
surplus. Further, I request you to visit the Western Front,
which has been terribly weakened as regards commissars.
It is absolutely essential to support the front as a whole.
Would you not find it useful in this connection to have a
meeting with Smilga?

Ihave received the material with your letter, and have
begun to examine it.
